The Liger is a hybrid cross between a male lion and a tigress.
Ligers enjoy swimming, which is a characteristic of tigers, and are very sociable like lions.Ligers typically grow larger than either parent species, unlike tigons which tend to be about as large as a female tiger. Males reach a total length of 3 to 3.5 m, meaning they are larger than large Siberian tiger males. Female ligers may also attain great size, weighing approximately 320 kg (705 lb) and reaching 3.05 m (10 ft) long on average.
